Daejeon is located in the heart of the Korean Peninsula and forms a major transportation crossroads,
with the major north-south highways and rail lines splitting to follow the east or west sides of the
country. With a long history of culture and tradition, it now also leads in science and technology.
EXPO Park, site of the 1993 Taejon World Expo, showcases the area's research center in nearby Daedeok
Science Town. Nearby mountains (Gyeryong-san
National Park, Sogni-san
National Park and Daedun-san Provincial Park), temples (Beopju-sa, Donghak-sa, and Gap-sa), hot springs (Yuseong), and lakes (Daecheong Lake)
offer many recreation opportunities for travelers and local residents.
